Editor's Notes
- #3 Quick intro Europeana – most of the audience know who we are, but helpful to give the context of the organisation, the team I work in and our offer Introduce Europeana’s two roles with regards to education - distribution and facilitation Success of some of Europeana’s education partnerships Discuss the resources available on Europeana, including the content, APIs, language offer and an API in development
- #4 First of all, what is Europeana?
- #5 We are a digital platform of more than 53m digital records in multiple languages and formats from Europe’s galleries, museums, libraries and archives. Europeana is also a network formed of individuals representing cultural heritage organisations and more from across Europe. We work to shape good practice in the field of digital cultural heritage, and Europeana’s core strength are our 1500+ network members who share and shape our goals.
- #6 A touchpoint between cultural heritage organisations and professional and amateur culture lovers alike A thought and practice leader – setting and advocating new standards in tech and cultural philosophy A network of cultural heritage and technology professionals, working together for mutual benefit A suite of websites to help people make the most of Europeana’s content and tools A provider of open source software and tools for contributing and making use of cultural content Our three target audiences – professionals, those who digitize and share collections, are catered for on Pro – end users for who we’re building the ultimate library, museum and archive of Europe, who we reach through social media, wikipedia and education, and attract to our collections – and our creative audience, our re-users – the developers and entrepreneurs, educators who use our content and API for application in multiple areas – whether from education to tourism to creative industries - we cater for them on Labs.
- #7 For our creative audience we promote guidance on how to use our APIs, run challenge to encourage re-use, promote the partnerships we are working in our three core areas of tourism, education and cultural industries.
- #8 But education is one of the most important areas for us.
- #11 All partners can help us reach to their own big communities and end-users in the most efficient way; they help us increase faster our visibility and re-use in classrooms and for lifelong learning. EUN, Euroeclio and inventing Europe, partnerships which I’ll introduce now, all use the Europeana API to integrate content into their platforms.
- #12 The Learning Resource Exchange is one way we aim to bring digital cultural heritage into education. The resource is led by EUN and enables European primary and secondary school teachers to find quality OERs from many different countries and providers. 339,000+ OERs that travel well across languages and national borders, adding to education provision at a national level. Now there are five times as much Europeana content as there was in March this year; with methods in place to automate the inclusion of new content, this is a growing resource.
- #13 European Digital Museum for Science and Technology, organised in 6 virtual exhibitions and 40 virtual tours on various topicsIt is a collaborative online platform developed by Foundation for the History of Technology that connects the digital collections of over 13 cultural and science heritage partners from across Europe, including Europeana, with the research results from about 300 scholars from Europe and North America who are active in the Tensions of Europe Research Network. It includes 14 learning materials using Europeana content, consisting of two lecture aids and 12 assignments.
- #14 Historiana is an online educational tool that offers students multi-perspective, cross-border and comparative historical sources to supplement their national history textbooks. It features material from Europeana and provides access to Europeana Collections via a special Search and Select tool. We’ve recently collaborated to develop the collections on some of history’s most infamous figures – including Stalin, Hitler, Joan of Arc and Queen Elizabeth. The site makes it simple to find sources on some of the most important themes for history educators that, until now, have been more challenging to access – either due to copyright, language, or even just having the time.
- #15 We’ve talked about our distribution role and those we partner with and the initiatives we organise that further the use of Europeana in formal and informal education. Now I’ll introduce our second role, which is to facilitate the increased use of Europeana content in education – whether by measures we take ourselves (including technical advancements), by advocacy and policy change or partnerships.
- #16 How do we facilitate and increase the use of Europeana content in education? New partnerships with those who want to use Europeana content in education – which is why we’re here! Policy level change: access to digitized works in the public domain. You can see, for example, our response to the recent publication of the European Commission’s copyright plans. Promoting existing initiatives using Europeana content in education #Europeana4Education – for example, the Learning Resource Exchange or Inventing Europe featuring as case studies on our website. Seven principles to unlock Europeana content for use in education – these are on our website and will guide cultural heritage organisations to make their content available in the best possible ways so that it is suitable for educational re-use. This includes relevance and open access.
- #17 Education is one of our key re-use communities and improvements we’re making across Europeana has the potential to drive the use of Europeana’s content in education.
- #18 53m+ items, which includes image – 29m – text – 22m – video – over 1m – sound – over half a million and growing – and 3D objects, 24,000+. Almost 40% of which is free to re-use. You can find anything from books, newspapers, journals, letters, diaries, archival papers, paintings, maps, drawings, photographs, music, spoken word, radio broadcasts, film, newsreels, television, curated exhibitions.
- #19 This is an example of some of the richest data we offer. You have a full description, good information about the creator, description of the type of work and date of creation. Quality links to similar items.
- #20 One of the best ways to find high quality material is to browse our Collections. Currently we have Art History and Music, but this will grow soon to include photography, fashion and newspapers, and more in the longer term. This content focuses on the best of what Europeana has to offer in each category, and we have dedicated managers for each collection whose role is to develop its quality offer.
- #22 We’re liked as a re-use platform because of our clear facet search for licensing conditions. But there is a lot more we need to do to facilitate the re-use of cultural heritage content in education.
- #23 So, our focus is on quality of content over quantity. Of the 53m plus million items we have on our platform, we estimate that 10million are of the right quality to be used in educational apps. Our focus on quality runs through all our education partnerships – making sure we have the best content available for re-users and end-users. We have a mission to focus on the quality of content provided through Tiers 2, 3 and 4 our of publishing framework ensuring best re-use potential. In particular, we are prioritising openly licensed content (tiers 3 and 4) and content that is available for re-use – educators need it! As part of our work with cultural organisations across Europe and beyond, we continue to advocate and educate for the provision of openly licensed digital cultural heritage where possible. We’re working on a content strategy that will help us improve the Europeana platform – including depublishing material that doesn’t fit our quality guidelines (for example, where there is insufficient or bad metadata). We’re building our Thematic Collections – expanding to include fashion, Newspapers, Photographs, Europeana Transcribe and more.
- #24 Main API we use is the REST API but we have four available, including the Annotations API that users can use to tag content. Free to register, only need an email – and it’s easy as well.
- #25 The entity API will improve and enrich the search experience and offer new ways for users to discover Europeana's content (and discover all that good data) in our growing collections. It will improve search functions by suggesting related contextual information with the outcome of improving the search experience for users. Entity autosuggest should be available by the end of this year.
- #26 Some features of the entity API, as we’re still working and testing it – it’s purpose to improve and enrich the search experience and offer new ways for users to discover Europeana's content on our Collections sites. This example is a entity page on one of our collections, Music You’ll be able to browse these and find links to search results. On the Europeana platform you’ll be able to access a knowledge card with detailed information about the entity, again with links and information. Note – all these screenshots are wireframes and are not final in any way.
- #27 On that note of developments to come, please remember two things: we are here because we want to know how you want to use Europeana content in education and to talk about potential partnership, so please, come and talk to me over the next days and stay in touch. We also know that Europeana’s content has the potential to inspire so please, look at our platform and be inpsired by the educational value of Europeana’s offer!
